I didn't realise that Post Reporter is a contribution badge - of course we will not touch that badge.

In case you are using Pliny, I am repeating the message, because the links don't work there:

Not sure if you realised this, but I'm ex-staff (in fact, I'm still at the BBC - probably in the B-Ark). I helped set up the Artists, initially helping Mina and then looking after it full time. I illustrated hundreds of entries - not all of them credited. Also, for a time, I was the longest-serving continuous staff-member (eventually overtaken only by Natalie).

Admittedly I don't have the time to pop back as often as I'd like, but if there's any way of allowing my contribution to continue to be recognised, I'd really appreciate it.

I did know you were former staff, and I shall do what I can to make sure you get the appropriate badge for that! (I apologise for the standard form message, I blame the "system", it shows 140 persons in active volunteer schemes. And that's not counting groups we don't actively use) But do come visit more often, I know people miss you! Off the Communications PS U14914070 is a conversation called The Staff Room. Why don't you pop over and grab a cup of ?

And we also hope to get credits on illustrations working, probably in the next rebuild, so if you want, you could contact Tavaron U1314679 and let her know which ones.
